[Example: The following Main Document part-relationship item contains a relationship to a Custom XML Data Storage part, which is stored in the ZIP item ../customXML/item1.xml:

<Relationships xmlns="…">
  <Relationship Id="rId1"
    Type="http://…/customXmlData" Target="../customXML/item1.xml"/>
</Relationships>

end example]
